Social media companies must do more to stop online abuse. That is why this weekend, Crystal Palace and other Premier League clubs will join leagues, governing bodies and organisations across English football and wider sport to boycott social media and demand change.
Participants in the boycott will switch off Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts across a full fixture programme, from 3pm on Friday 30th April until 11:59pm on Monday 3rd May.
Why are we boycotting social media?
We want social media companies to do more to prevent the online discriminatory abuse received by players and many others across the world, which goes without any real-life consequences for perpetrators.
